The New Shopgirl

It’s gonna be an Oscar nominee for an Oscar winner, thankyouverymuch.

Rooney Mara is going to join Cate Blanchett in Todd Haynes’s forthcoming Carol, the adaptation of a Patricia Highsmith novel centering on the blossoming relationship between two period women: an unhappy wife and a department store shopgirl dreaming of a more fulfilling life.

There’s a road trip involved. It’s anybody’s guess at this point whether a cliff is at the end of it.

Btw, Jane Eyre’s Mia Wasikowska was previously set to play the shopgirl.
